Terrorists for Bush?

Following up on upyernoz's post, B4B doesn't seem to be aware of a statement made by an al Qaeda faction not long ago, noted at Orcinus, among others:

The statement said it supported President Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom." In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilization."

"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

That they're telling the truth here is questionable (as is the importance of the faction), but do they really care enough to lie about it? And we also have a passage from Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, pg. 383:

Like bin Laden, al-Zawahiri believed that it was time for jihadists to carry the war to "the distant enemy" because, once provoked, the Americans would probably reply with revenge attacks and "personally wage the battle against the Muslims," which would make them ripe for a "clear-cut jihad against infidels."

So, who would do a better job of creating a "clear-cut jihad against infidels?" The Right would have to answer 'Bush' seeing as Kerry is weakling who won't do what's necessary to defend our country. Right?

Now, look at those two pieces of evidence, both in favor of terrorists wanting Bush to win. Have we seen that become a meme on the Left? Do we see this on Left-wing blogs? Not to my knowledge. I certainly don't think it's true or relevent. Yet, we get statements like this from places like B4B:

We have to make sure the American people understand that this is the case. Al Qaeda, the Ba'ath Party, Islamic jihad, the PLO and every other terror group is wearing a Kerry 04 lapel pin.

Combine that with the banning of several of our members and B4B is certainly doing their part to drag our political discourse through the mud.
